Did not really expect a lot of the sexual aspects written? Also don’t know that these inclusions did much for the story for me??
The shift to M’s POV was probably the strongest part written; Lena’s part dragged on for me, and so did half of Joseph’s. The pacing was definitely a bit strange with the big time jump that wasn’t really explained or prompted.
Anything in the 3 star range felt harsh. 4 stars, I suppose, though I can see how people didn’t like this book and rated it lower. I do wish I liked it more.
Also!!! I don’t think the horror is heavy in this book; I found it mild, in terms of the fact that one of the characters is Literally A Monster.
